“Collision in Korea” set a new world record for the largest pro wrestling attendance ever that still stands today — and it happened in the middle of Pyongyang in 1995.
Former head of World Championship Wrestling (WCW) Eric Bischoff joins the NK News Podcast to discuss the international wrestling business, how it reached North Korea, Muhammad Ali, Antonio Inoki, 2 Cold Scorpio, “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair, and the prospects for sports diplomacy.
Eric Bischoff has written a book about his life in wrestling called “Controversy Creates Cash.”
Plus! Nick Bonner joins (01:00:09) to talk about what it was like to plan a 100-plus person tour to Pyongyang just for Collision in Korea.
